So I was pulling into a campsite and ignoring the backup camera because of the bike rack blocking at of the view - heard a THUMP.

The stump was at the perfect height where it slid under the rack and got the bumper.

These are steel right? Not aluminum like the rest of the body?

Is something a body shop can usually knock back out or is it a full replacement job? Would I be better off asking the dealer or going to a private shop?

 

It's steel and just that side can be replaced if needed rather than replacing the whole bumper.

 

Gives the truck character but yeah it's steel

 

Is it a part you can buy pre painted from the dealer or do I have to buy it and have it painted? Does anyone have any assembly diagrams? Maybe I can't install it myself and save some money.

Hopefully I don't have any issues with one side mismatching the other.

 

It would be primed and need painted.

Thanks!! Looks like you have to buy both pieces though - bummer

I guess I'll have it in case I ding up the other side someday!

I'll get a quote from a few places too just in case they are cheaper for the one side.

 

If you don't mind repainting there is a Magnetic Grey Right piece W/sensor hole on eBay for $100.00.
It says no dents but paint has scratches

Agreed. I would have a good paintless dent repair place have a look at it before you buy new
